Scripting Bridge for Color Management

Hi,
I need a script that instruct Bridge to Switch to a color Preset.
I have no problem using AS but Dictionary os Bridge don't have support to AS but only can invoke Javascript.
Somebody has an example about how to set Bridge (and Sync automatically all other Adobe APP) choosing a Color Preset name?
Stefano

I have looked at this before now and JavaScript does not have access to that app preference… It would have been handy IMO did not see it added to CS5 either…

  • Working Space for Color Management...

    Hello,
    I'm working on a project with a series of still, all of which contain embedded sRGB color profiles (as these images were originally used for a web-based job). This video project will eventually go onto a SD DVD to be displayed on a SD NTSC television. When choosing my working space (for color management), should I use SDTV NTSC (or should I use sRGB and then specify SDTV NTSC in my output setting upon rendering? I'm leaning towards SDTV NTSC as my working space, but since I'm coming at this from a print background in color management, I'm wondering if someone could lend some advice?
    Also, what should I select for these options (under Color Settings in Project Settings)...ie. should I or shouldn't I have them checked...
    - Linearize Working Space
    - Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma
    Thanks!
    Kristin.

    > It didn't really touch on "Blend Colors Using 1.0 Gamma" though would I want this checked?
    Generally, yes. It helps avoid problems that can occur with inter-layer blending.
    > And pretty sure, for what I'm doing, I wouldn't want "Linearize Working Space" checked.
    Also correct, unless you intend to work in a 16- or 32-bpc mode.

  • Bridge CS4 color management only works with GPU active

    When I turn hardware acceleration off (by selecting software rendering in Bridge advanced preferences) Bridge color management disappears and on my wide gamut display I get cartoon color thumbnails indicating that CM isn't working. With GPU rendering on and Bridge restarted, CM works as it should.
    It seems that Photoshop requires hardware acceleration with the "color compensation" option checked under the Performance/Enable OpenGL Drawing/Advanced settings preference.
    Is color management now only functional with OpenGL acceleration enabled? I can find no help documentation for the advanced OpenGL Drawing settings. What a huge can of hardware worms this is turning out to be.

    I wouldn't think that Bridge needed the GPU for CM, yet bypassing the GPU turns off CM in this installation.
    I'm still confused about what you indicate in the Photoshop CS4 thread on OpenGL.
    Chris Cox, "A few questions about OpenGl acceleration" #14, 11 Nov 2008 7:31 pm
    I interpret your comment as suggesting that disabling color compensation in the PS CS4 GPU debugging features should disable CM in Photoshop, but it doesn't, it just makes it unreliable in displaying images post profile conversion in my tests. I'm probably missing some nuance here.

  • Numeric Value for Brightness Controle for color management purposes?

    As a retoucher I am supposed to keep accurate color management. I create my ICC Monitor profiles with an X-Rites i1XT meter. The screen calibration includes a brightness adjustment to meet a desired luminosity value (I choose to work on a 120cd/m level). My issue is that apples "brightness slider" wont define a value or percentage which I could associate with my current ICC profile. If I would for instance watch a movie in full brightness I could never get back to my previous brightness settings in order to maintain my desired color accuracy!
    - is there a way to read out or dial in a "brightness value" (maybe trough a script?)
    - does anyone know about an external tool that could help me (without interfering the ICCs)
    THX a lot,
    TIM

    I know of a way to recover that number from an Apple notebook's built-in display. Don't know if the same is true with an external display, but you can try. The value exists in the I/0 registry.
    If you open a Terminal window and input the following:
    ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayParameters
    about 2/3rds through the output you will see a long line with all the display actual values. Near the end of that line you will find a line like:
    "brightness"={"max"=1024,"min"=0,"value"=x
    where x will be the actual brightness on a scale from 0 to 1024. At least that is how things are working from my Apple notebook.
    I don't know of a way to set the value from terminal. But at least you can read it out.
    If my command of Unix were better, I could figure out a way to refine the output using a command like sed, so that the output only returned the number you are interested in. Maybe someone can help with that. It would take me too long to figure out. Not a Unix guru.

  • Action Script 3 and Color Management on PowerPC macs - Bug

    Dear Adobe,
    Recently I re-skinned my website and incorporated Actionscript 3 & Flash 10 so that I could incorporate Color Management for my images. I used sRGB as the image colorspace. On Intel CPU PC's (Mac and Windows) the website and images look good - as expected - on any browser (safari, firefox, ie). But, on PowerPC based Macs the website looks AWFUL. There is a blue/green tint across the whole webpage and the images look super saturated and whacky, regardless of browser (firefox / safari). Both powerPC macs I tested with are running OSX 10.5.7 and have Flash Player 10 installed.
    Can you explain why this is happening? See for yourself - http://www.stoqq.com

    Nik.

  • Displays for color management

    Current recommendations for good performing monitors at a reasonable price?

    It would be helpful if you narrow down what you consider "a reasonable price."
    Of course it is essential that you tell us what kind of work you do and whether you have a good understanding of the theory and practice of color management.
    Without any further information, the only recommendations I would have are:
    NEC MultiSync PA241W-BK-SV 24.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor with SpectraViewII Color Calibration
    and
    NEC 24" Widescreen Professional Graphics Monitor with SpectraView II

  • Scripting Bridge for iTunes

    I'm trying to do something simple and efficient with scripting bridge and iTunes, which is to display the number of the track currently playing in the playlist (aka "get index of current track"), so here's my try:
    // initialization
    iTunes = \[ SBApplication applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.iTunes" \] ;
    // repeat this on a timer
    iTunesTrack* currentTrack = \[ iTunes currentTrack \] ;
    iTunesPlaylist* currentPlaylist = \[ iTunes currentPlaylist \] ;
    SBElementArray* currentTracks = \[ currentPlaylist tracks \] ;
    NSInteger index = \[ currentTracks indexOfObject: currentTrack \] ;
    but this doesn't work because currentTracks and currentTrack are references that haven't been evaluated (and indexOf doesn't persuade them to evaluate). This can be fixed by:
    NSInteger index = \[ \[ currentTracks get \] indexOfObject: \[ currentTrack get \] \] ; // leaks mem!
    and while the index is now correct, this leaks memory (about 1K bytes per call - alot more after some time!). Am I doing something wrong? Does Scripting Bridge have a memory leak? Is there a better way to get this index, or am I stuck going back to AppleScript (I promised myself I'd quit if it got messy). Thx, -L.

    Thanks again for your collective guidance - per your advice, I've tried allocating and releasing an autorelease pool every get/loop. In fact, I've tried many variations of draining and releasing pools, as well as variable assignments and releases. No change in the memory leak.
    I'm starting to suspect that the leak is lower-level than anything Objective-C is doing, but please correct me!
    I've distilled the problem into just a few lines of code inserted into the generic Cocoa app template generated by Xcode. Please take a look below and see how one might change it to not leak memory - Activity Monitor says it ticks up .01MB (about 10K) in RSS memory usage every few seconds.
    Thanks for your continued guidance, -Lance.

  • Best monitors for color management

    Wanting to buy a monitor that will display the RGB COLOR profile

    There are many wide gamut monitors on the market which will natively reproduce most of Adobe RGB (I assume that's what you mean by "RGB").
    But I wouldn't recommend that unless you are fully aware of the implications. Such a monitor can only be used in a fully color managed environment, and it must be calibrated and profiled to perform as intended. Without full color management there's no way it will display correctly and it's just a waste.
    Taken at face value (what is the "best"), your question only has one answer: Either an NEC PA series, or an Eizo CG/CX series. They are expensive, but worth it. If you're on a tight budget, go down in size, not quality. Panel size is the single biggest cost factor and a good 24" is way better than a mediocre 27" or 30" at the same price point.

  • LED lightings for Color management?

    With LED bulbs and lightings quickly replacing conventional lightings, I got curious and am wondering if there's any LED lighting (bulbs, tubes?, etc) that meet, or can be adjusted to, standardized prepress lighting conditions such as D50, D65, etc.
    Has anyone came across such LED lights yet?

  • Bridge Color Management Issue - Looking for Registry setting

    We have 100 people in our office. Currently, in order to enable color management, we have to go into each person's Bridge Center Color Management Color Settings panel, select our custom color settings file and hit apply. That takes care of 1 out of 100 people.
    How can we automate this process...
    We would like to create a script that sends a custom color setting file to individual user's stations. Does anybody know the registry setting that controls synchronization of settings on a user level?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Dan,
    Did you ever find such a mechanism? I am looking to do pretty much the same thing. I can get the .CSF file to the workstations no problem, but I need to set the apps to look at it for their Color Settings. My guess is that there is a registry settings somewhere, but for the life of me I cant find it.

  • Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management

    This is a question about Vista 64 bit and CS4 and color management. I scan 4x5 film and sometimes end up with up to or even bigger than 1 GB files. Obviously that needs as much memory as possible. Windows XP is limited in this regard and I am in the market for a new speedy computer which won't force me to stay at a snail's pace. In this month's Shutterbug, David Brooks in his Q&A column says to avoid Vista for color management reasons, but offers no explanation or support for his opinion. He implies one should wait for Windows 7 for some unstated reason. With a calibrated monitor and printer and Photoshop controlling color files sent to the printer, why would Vista be any different or worse than XP? Is he on to something or just pontificating? Does anyone know any reliable info about Windows 7 that would make it worth waiting for?
    Thanks.

    Photoshop has direct access to max 3.2gb
    On Mac OS X, PS CS4 can use up to 8 GB of RAM, but only directly accesses up to 3.5 GB. (Figures quoted from kb404440.) In using PS CS4 on Mac OS, though, direct Memory Usage maxes out at 3 GB even. If you set usage to 100% (3 GB), then plug-ins (including Camera Raw and filters), as well as actions and scripts, can access RAM above that 3 GB to between about 512 MB and about 768 MB total (seems to vary depending on which filters et al that you are using), leaving the rest up to 4 GB for the Mac OS. If you have more than 4 GB, then the amount of RAM above 4 GB is used by PS as a scratch disk. This increases performance significantly for most things because writing to and reading from the hard drive is much slower than doing so with RAM.
    I haven't done the testing for actual RAM usage and such for PS CS4 on Vista 64, and Adobe's documentation is very much lacking in detail, but, based on the statement "If you use files large enough to need more than 4 GB of RAM, and you have enough RAM, all the processing you perform on your large images can be done in RAM, instead of swapping out to the hard disk." from kb404439, it seems that PS would be using RAM in very much the same way as I described above for Mac OS, except that the scratch disk usage in RAM wouldn't be limited to 8 GB (instead to how much you have installed). Has anyone done any performance/load testing to know for sure? I didn't see any such studies published, but I am curious if one has been done.
    I will agree that there is a definite performance advantage when using PS CS4 (64-bit) on Vista 64, which I've experienced, especially when working very large compositions.
    My initial recommendation to the OP to use Mac was based upon reading those articles about bad color management. As I stated before, I have never experienced that problem, and clearly the views of all that have posted here so far indicate that the problem may not be a real issue. (Perhaps this David Brooks fellow and Steve Upton both like to mess with their computers and broke something in Windows?)

  • Turn off Color Management

    Hi:
    Due to the workflow within my organization and the print requirements, we set Color management in Acrobat 7 to Off
    Edit -> preferences-> Color Mangement
    Color setup
    Settings: Color management off
    I need to do this in an enterprise installation with Acrobat 9.0. In Acrobat 9.0 there is no selection for Color Management off.
    How do I turn color management off in Acrobat 9.0?
    Thank you,

    Hi:
    I have gotten a little farther with this but have not been able to turn collor management off through the registry for a enterprise automated installation.
    I have identified the key that changes when you change Color Handling from Adobe Acrobat to Same as source (no color management)
    The key that changes in the registry is under
    AVGeneral
    key = iColorHandling.
    When I change the color handling manually through the Adobe PDF Printer, the value changes to 1 and everything works as it should.
    However, if I change this through a script,
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\AVGeneral]
    "icolorHandling"=dword:00000001
